Beachfront Cottage on Beautiful St Margarets Bay - Ingramport, Nova Scotia
Ocean, beach, privacy.
Capture the moment as well as the imagination at this luxury air conditioned studio oceanfront cottage on pristine and beautiful St. Margarets Bay. You can have it all in our very spacious, open concept, modernized 'home away from home' that sits right on the water's edge.
Enjoy your serene surroundings, relax on the beach, enjoy your coffee in the morning on the oceanfront deck, splash in the sparkling ocean, swim, snorkel, watch the birds, boats, occasional porpoises and whales go by, kayak, fish and make unforgettable memories with your family or your significant other.

Take your children on a treasure hunt with the metal detector, play with skim boards, bows and arrows, or fish with the two available fishing rods.
On those rainy days hang out in the living room on the couch or the floating lounger, which overlook the ocean, cuddle up in a blanket and pick a book to read from our library, watch Netflix on the Smart TV, pick from dozens of movies on DVDs, play with the Wii or PS3, or bring out board and card games, Legos and puzzles to pass the time.

We loved our stay here! Star gazing, sitting on the deck with wine and even seeing bioluminescent algae in the water at night was amazing plus so quiet and peaceful. Owners are very kind and helpful too.
Our family had an amazing stay in Ingramport. We enjoyed all the outdoor activities and amenities and the views from the house are spectacular. They were wonderful hosts and always very responsive.
Easy drive to see the local sites - Halifax, Lunenberg, etc. Would definitely recommend!
We stayed for a week in July 2023. Beautiful location on St. Margarets Bay, with a lot of bay or open ocean beaches around. Cottage is clean and well equipped and the owners have their house nearby so if you need anything it is very easy. We especially loved the private beach, perfect for a a swim or a fire at night! Very nice spot, I would highly recommend!
Beautiful, comfortable cottage literally right on the ocean. Clear water where you can watch fish and other ocean life. Lovely beach right beside the house. Egon and Patty are warm, welcoming and very responsive. They have thought of all needs. Very much recommend.
Great location, convenient for day trips to Halifax and Peggy's cove and whale watching in Lulenbetg. Enjoyed swimming at the private beech and spotting early morning dolphins from deck. Close to St Margaret Bay rail trail, biked 30km trips right from property north to Bike and Bean for lunch as well as 30km trip to Tuna Blue in Hubbards bay for lunch. Nice neighbors. Great freindly hosts Egon and Patty.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We arrived after midnight and Egon provided flashlights and helped us with our bags down the hill! The amenities were very nice; we felt right at home. There even was Nespresso which we enjoyed each morning. We were often away during low tide so we didn’t get a chance to enjoy the beach. My husband embraced fishing from the rock next to the cottage. We will definitely be back!
Wonderful location with a short drive to many south NS attractions. Hosts were very helpful and provided many suggestions of where and when to visit nearby attractions. Would stay again in a heart beat.
My family and I had an amazing time at this cottage. My kids loved the sandy beach and the evening camp fires. The cottage is situated almost right on the water which makes for spectacular views. It is very clean and nicely decorated. Thanks Egon for being a great host!
We had a wonderful time staying in this beach house right on the ocean. The house was spotless and the location was perfect. We had a fantastic holiday and hope to come back again. Thank you Egon and Patty!

Awesome property on the St Margret bay. An easy drive to Halifax, Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg. Owners were super accommodating and home was well stocked. The grass hill down from the parking was a bit of a hike to carry everything in and out. But once there it was lovely rain and shine.
Nous avons été très bien reçus par les Hôtes. Un accueil exemplaire. Les lieux sont très propres et la résidence est bien équipé. Ce fut un séjour en famille réussie.
This is the most amazing property we’ve ever visited. It sits right on the water and offers gorgeous views. Whether it’s cloudy, sunny, rainy, every day offers a different spectacular scene. There’s so much to watch. We spent hours every morning just sitting on the deck over the water. The house itself is very clean and very, very well maintained. It has a top notch heating/ac/dehumidifier system so inside is always comfortable and clean. It has everything you could possibly need. There’s even a water cooler with an extra bottle which was so convenient for filling water bottles for hikes. Egon and Party have done a wonderful job decorating and making use of the space. It’s a studio house, but each section feels very separate- a very clever layout. There are three kayaks so no need to rent. The area is perfect for setting in a kayak easily. The property is conveniently located to so many different areas for exploring—not far from Halifax, Mahone Bay, Peggy’s Cove etc. We especially enjoyed the Gaff Trail on Hirtle’s Beach near Lunenburg. There is so much to do but honestly, we would have been perfectly content to stay all day at the house. Patty and Egon were the absolute best hosts. Responsive to questions, so welcoming and just very genuinely kind people. I can’t rate this experience highly enough. We will be back every year!
We had a great stay - little beach beside the cottage was wonderful and the cottage itself was very cozy and eclectic…. Patty was great to deal with and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. Even saw some pilot whales!
The cottage was great for my wife and I. It might be a bit small for a family. Great porch on the water. Perfect place to relax. Egon was the perfect host.
We absolutely loved our whole stay. The location is fabulous- idyllic setting with beautiful views yet very close to Halifax. Egon was extremely helpful and kind. The cottage has everything you need and then some. Enjoyed swimming and kayaking. Beat all our expectations. Can’t wait to come back!
Our time from the moment we arrived until our goodbyes to this beautiful area of Nova Scotia could not have been improved upon. Our wonderful host Egon, (Patty was away) , made sure our time and experiences were memorable. The house, private beach, kayaks and daily adventures to all the best the province could offer were ideal. We cannot say enough and know if you are looking for a true waterfront location with proximity to memorable destinations this is the place to be. The Rush family
What a great stay! They have added so many thoughtful touches like a punching bag and gloves, video games, movies, kayaks, fishing rods Etc etc. nice appliances, beautiful bathroom, super funky cottage! The private beach was AMAZING! Water is crystal clear, all the paper, kindling and dry firewood you could ask for! We loved having fires on the beach. The host is super responsive and helpful. It’s a beautiful, comfortable place to stay and is a great jumping off point for many sightseeing adventures. Cannot recommend this place enough. Kudos to the hosts for an exceptional experience!
If you want great hosts, oceanfront living at its finest and your own private beach then stop looking this is the place. Thank you Egon & Patty looking forward to next time.
What a beautiful property and super-cute home! We enjoyed everything about our stay at Egon and Patty’s home - excellent communications, clean, well-equipped home, and fantastic outdoor spaces to watch the birds on the water. The location was convenient to take day trips to Halifax, Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg. We highly recommend visiting this gem!
